Expression of chondrocyte and zinc finger proteins in primary OA chondrocytes. Chondrocyte mRNA transcripts for COL2A, MMP13, aggrecan, and Sox9 were analysed with ZNF521, ZNF423, ZNF470, and ZNF780B in sets of control samples derived from hallux valgus and pes cavus and OA stages II–IV chondrocytes derived from patients undergoing total joint replacement. Numbers of patient specimens are indicated. mRNA levels were quantified by Q-RT-PCR normalized for GAPDH and calculated relative to the amount of each transcript in the chondrocyte cell line T/C28a4 (arbitrary units).
